To me it seems that that the order of [[Language]] and [[Service]] is a question of semantic rationale and not that the current syntax is bad, it's just the syntax it is now and we are going to have to work with it. Note that [[interwiki]] seems to originate in usemod-[[wiki]] where languages were not a question to consider since it's designed to handle only English. | To me it seems that that the order of [[Language]] and [[Service]] is a question of semantic rationale and not that the current syntax is bad, it's just the syntax it is now and we are going to have to work with it.

:"interwiki" is worthless, because it's technology-dependent AND language-dependent. Forget it. The semantic rationale is simple and absolute: one works in one language at a time, almost always, and switches services within that language. The [[MediaWiki]]/[[GetWiki]] syntax IS bad, and we DON'T have to work with it. Among other things we can just do it right in anchor text, and later use a bot to fix the links, when the software works properly. There is for instance no problem with saying [[w:fr:anomie|fr:wikipedia:anomie]] for now, and fixing it later. Consider this a bug workaround. | |||
